One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

If it were any other navy officer, he might not even take them seriously.

But the person currently leading those naval forces in pursuit is called Tsuru!

The consequence of being dissatisfied was that he was almost thrown into Impel Down to drink tea and read newspapers...

These are all bloody lessons he learned when he was young and reckless!

Since then, Doflamingo has developed a certain respect and fear for Crane, though he never admits it.

"Damn old hag, one day I will stand before you openly and honestly, leaving you with no choice but to sigh helplessly!"

Doflamingo's temples bulged with veins; the humiliation of being forced to passively endure the beating filled him with rage.

"Has Buffalo not returned yet?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"I see them, they're over there!"

Baby-5 suddenly shouted while holding the binoculars.

Looking over, the others saw a black dot rapidly approaching in the sky.

"Wait a minute, you guys go at full speed, I'm going to teach those navy guys behind me a lesson."

Clearly, Doflamingo's patience was nearing its limit.

Moreover, if no one covers their rear and keeps these naval forces occupied, they will have no chance of shaking them off.

In this situation, there is clearly no better candidate than Doflamingo.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Don Quixote family was always able to escape unscathed from the cranes' pursuit.

"Huff...huff...I'm...I'm going to die."

In the sky, Buffalo began to pant heavily, his strength severely depleted.

He first carried Baby-5 and fought a fierce battle with many pirates, then searched for supplies on the island, notified everyone to assemble, and finally flew back to pick up Abel. He was indeed exhausted.

"Hang in there! We're almost there!"

Abel shouted loudly, but being unable to fly, he could only watch helplessly.

If Buffalo starts to tank now, both of them will be finished!

"I can't take it anymore, I can't fly anymore."

"Think about your favorite ice cream! I'll buy you ten of them when we get back, the most luxurious kind, so you can eat your fill!"

In desperation, Abel could only think of this way to encourage the other party.

Surprisingly, it actually had some effect.

Upon hearing that Abel would treat him to ten of the most luxurious ice creams when he returned, Buffalo's eyes lit up. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he mustered some more strength, and even made his 'propeller' spin faster!

"Let's go! Let's give it our all for this deluxe ice cream!"

With a resolute expression, Buffalo led Abel across the sky above the sea, heading straight for the Flamingo, which was under artillery fire.

But at that moment, they also attracted the attention of the navy below.

"Huh? That's..."

The crane suddenly sensed something and raised its head to look at the sky.

Upon seeing this, the female naval officer next to her immediately raised her binoculars and compared them with the intelligence received by the Navy Headquarters.

"One of them is a member of the Donquixote Family, a Paramecia-type Spin-Spin Fruit user, who has the ability to fly."

"The other one... uh, the other one has no intelligence records, but he may be one of the children recently abducted by the Donquixote family."

He nodded upon hearing this, "I see. Then let's save them. They're both still children. After their hearts are cleansed, they might become pillars of the navy in the future."

Those who are noticed by Doflamingo must possess some kind of potential.

He agrees with this point.

Moreover, compared to adults who are more independent, these children whose values ​​are not yet mature are undoubtedly easier to "whitewash".

That's why the crane had the idea of ​​intercepting it.

Staying in the Navy is better than following Doflamingo and doing all sorts of bad things.

"Hina, it's up to you now."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Tsuru!"

A sexy woman with long pink hair immediately stepped forward.

Then a faint light flashed in her hand, and a black iron rod appeared out of thin air. She aimed at the air and hurled the black iron rod out.

With a loud whooshing sound, Abel finally noticed something.

Something is flying towards them at high speed!

If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have been able to react at this moment.

However, after absorbing the battle memories of the White Demon, he almost instinctively drew the short sword from his waist.

Asura Aurora Slash!

呲!

The dazzling aurora sword energy instantly struck the rapidly flying iron rod, splitting it in two.

Buffalo was immediately startled!

You have to understand that the iron bar was only one or two meters away from him. If he had been hit, he would have crashed instantly.

And that's not all.

Hina is a user of the Cage-Cage Fruit; if she were hit by that black iron rod, she would be immediately locked in place.

"What?! My attack was actually cut off?"

After failing, Hina immediately showed an expression of utter shock.

In her mind, she might miss, and her opponent might dodge, but she never expected to be defeated head-on.

And if she wasn't mistaken, that was...

"Flying Slash?"

"How could such a young boy, so inexperienced, have already mastered such superb swordsmanship?"

"Such a swordsmanship genius must not be allowed to fall into Doflamingo's hands!"

If Tsuru's previous actions were primarily driven by naval duty to rescue the children, then now she has an additional reason to intervene.

Because she couldn't imagine what a terrifying demon Doflamingo would mold such a swordsmanship genius into in the future!

Therefore, in order to nip this possibility in the bud, she immediately issued a series of orders.

"Hina, go all out and capture them!"

"Hina understands!"

"Change course and go full speed ahead."

"All members of the third musketeer squad, prepare to fire, avoiding vital areas as much as possible..."

Hina, who had failed before, was clearly much more serious this time.

Black Gun Formation!

Whoosh...

One black iron bar after another was hurled out by Hina with force, almost completely blocking Buffalo's escape route.

Fortunately, Abel was prepared this time and launched a counterattack immediately.

Asura Aurora Slash!

Several black iron rods were blocked directly, but many more still broke through the sword energy blockade.

Left with no other choice, Abel had to exhaust all his physical and mental strength to forcefully unleash the final strike.

A large number of iron rods were knocked into the sea, but some still managed to escape.

To put it bluntly, Abel's strength was insufficient at this time, and he could not unleash the true power of the Asura Aurora Slash.

Otherwise, no matter how many iron bars there are, they will only be cut down.

Chapter Forty-One: Suffering Losses and Revenge!

"what!"

Buffalo was struck in the stomach by a black iron bar, which then transformed into a cage, instantly locking his body in place.

Now it can't fly even if it wants to.

The two immediately 'crashed' and began freefall.

Abel felt somewhat helpless at this point, but he had done his best.

Fortunately, there was the ocean below, and Buffalo hadn't flown very high because he had exhausted too much energy.

He shouldn't die from the fall...

This is probably the only good news.

But at that moment, Abel suddenly felt his downward momentum stop.

He turned around and found that it was Doflamingo who had saved him.

After binding Abel and Buffalo with thin threads, Doflamingo immediately threw them far away, then used the power of the String-String Fruit to pull the clouds closer to the warship.

Señor seized the opportunity and leaped up, easily catching Abel and Buffalo as they were thrown, before turning his attention back to the warship behind him.

"All hands, aim at Doflamingo...fire!"

Bang bang bang!

Seeing that the person had been rescued by the other party, Tsuru felt a pang of regret in his heart, but immediately gave the order to focus fire on Doflamingo.
